What the fuck was his problem??

Discuss.

Jim Morrison of the Doors idolized Jack Kerouac and considered his writing to be life-changing. He emulated Dean Moriarty and even once drove down to Florida where Kerouac was living with his mother and drinking himself to death. Trying to meet him, Morrison was turned away by Kerouac's mother, who hated anyone associated with the hippie movement. Kerouac drank himself to death in October of '69. Morrison OD'd not even 2 years later, never getting the chance to meet his hero.

I think most people would say he's an influential/significant figure in the development of post-war American culture and literature but doesn't stand all that well on his own.

He's good, but if you could only take one book to an island, it probably shouldn't be one of his. Some would say his work is more of a zeitgeist thing rather than "great" work.

Hello /lit/ can someone recommend good novels/plays/poetry about people with body dysmorphia disorder, ugly people, or general literature featuring main characters who are due to some physical issue are not likely to be featured in traditional fare? Thanks.

What is on my mind? I have read many concepts that I find intriguing, yet extraordinary. Naturalism, the voyage of the beagle, religion, God, many more. The idea of questioning my own reality is probably the most important thing that flies through my mind day after day. I ponder, I examine, I then journey for evidence.
